Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-games

When I launch Swell Foop, it appears to work fine, but when I attempt to click on a group of blocks, nothing happens. If I select Game->New, it does not create a new board, and the main part of the window does not repaint. The program as a whole does not freeze, as I am still able to access the menus.

There's an upstream report here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624493; saying that this is affecting the nouveau driver from nvidia but i'm using an intel card thus the intel driver and having the same issue, already commented on the upstream report, thanks in advance.

Same problem here, running an eeePC 1005 (Intel). This program was really buggy in 10.04, crashing frequently. I'm hoping we get a functional version for 10.10 since its predecessor (same-gnome) was one of my go-to games when I wanted to waste 5 minutes or less!

and when clicking

I have the same problem with swell foop. My error messages are similar to those already reported. I would like to add that if I maximize another program, and then maximize swell foop, the swell foop window is then blank. Also, if I change preferences and then close the preferences window, the space occupied by the preferences window is blank. This is on a Lenovo T43 with an Intel 915 graphics chip.

The patch wasn't mine! I think it came from upstream and was posted here by Jonathan. Although, this may all be moot, since in 11.10 testing it looks like both swell-foop and lightsoff have been pulled from the gnome-games package - in fact they're gone from the repositories altogether. So perhaps these two ended up being more trouble than they're worth.
